Things to consider

  1. Mobile Responsiveness - Ensure that your form works well on all devices, including smartphones and tablets, as users may access the form from different devices.
  2. Form Length - Keep the form concise by including only essential questions. Long forms may discourage users from completing the assessment.
  3. Question Clarity - Use clear and straightforward language in your questions to avoid any misinterpretation or confusion for the person filling out the form.
  4. Mandatory vs. Optional Fields - Clearly mark mandatory fields with an asterisk (*) and consider having optional fields for less critical information. This helps users prioritize the necessary inputs.

  7. Helpful Tooltips - Provide tooltips or help text for complex questions or fields where users might require additional guidance. This ensures accurate and consistent responses.
